"Jamie Collins, LB (6-foot-3 5/8, 250 pounds) - Collins stood on his numbers from the NFL Scouting Combine (he was a top performer in his position group in five events). Collins' official 40-yard dash time (4.64 seconds) in Indianapolis is especially notable. Collins worked out as both a linebacker and defensive lineman with his hand in the dirt. He'll have a lot of intrigued teams visit for a private workout. - Gil Brandt, NFL.com"

This makes me feel a little bit better. Is Spikes expendable now?

Nah WIlfork and Spikes anchor the middle of the line, esp on running downs. If anything this makes Fletcher expendable which isn't a bad thing since Fletcher can't stay healthy

I would say you bring up a good point - there is no way they are going to sign Spikes to a long term deal. I think Mayo will eventually move back inside, they'll put Hightower next to him...Collins and Jones may be the hybrid, outside types with Nink and who ever they draft next year.

Do you ever stop? Let the real fans enjoy the draft process and please leave.

Concentrate on what you're good at...like the proposed trade of Mallett to Cleveland. Bawahahahaaa! Hey there's still a couple of picks left in the second...you still think we are getting "at least a second round pick" for Mallett, dumbo?

No on Spikes being expendable.

I believe there will be opponents where a Spikes type player would be more your 3-down LB against running teams. You'll want a speedier lineup against a team that passes more.
